When he sampled Toni, he said she received 60% of the royalties.

As she should. But what about Rodney? Toni didn't make that beat.

I doubt it was Toni who receives the 60%, more of the people behind Toni's song.

No, she didn't.....Big shiz wrote the song with Rodney, and Rodney did the production

I love to see it. This is one of my favorite songs of all time. Top 3 Brandy songs for sure.

Harlem

Crazy how the song didn't perform better too b/c it felt so big in '98

It was big.
The song was an airplay only release -- and at the time, Billboard did not allow airplay only songs to chart on the Hot 100 - which is why it didn't chart on the Hot 100. It was another Top 10 R&B Airplay hit for her though. #4.

I think if it was released as a physical single out the gate, it would have gone Top 10 - Hot 100, for sure.

The Hot 100 is a good indication of hit today but it doesn't/hasn't always been the only way to determine a hit, especially back then with all of the rules and regulations. People only following this chart is more of a recent thing.
